Quake 4 Hints

Machinegun

  • Damage: 15 per bullet (18 if it hits flesh) or 20 per bullet in zoom mode (24 vs. flesh)
    Clip/Max Ammo: 40 / 300 (clip size upgraded to 80 in "Operation: Advantage")
    First Found: Air Defense Bunker

    This is the basic rapid-fire weapon of the game, and is useful mainly for mid-range shooting, especially against foes who can jump around a lot. Once you get the hyperblaster, you probably won't use this gun much (except when you need a flashlight or are out of hyperblaster ammo).
